OLD SOFTWARE SOURCES

OLD SOFTWARE SOURCES

When I began working on a customer’s pc today, yes there are people out there that still run xp… Not everyone is a tech guru… Some people really just treat updating their computer system like a fire and forget mechanism. Ok… enough about that…

Now… I was on this pc and I found that this pc was using software that was pretty old. The pc also had an issue that required a reinstall of the operating system.

Thankfully… the customer had all the old versions of all the commercial software but many utilities downloaded just would not work…

I needed older versions… something compatible with xp…

That sent me on an expedition for old software sources or to be more precise old software versions…

The following sites were quite useful:
